A Good Samaritan who battled to save a man’s life after he was brutally beaten to death in a street was found hanged 12 hours later.

Sean Lyons, 24, spotted Glen Delaney being attacked in Levenshulme, Manchester, and rushed to give him first aid.

But despite his efforts, the 40-year-old died later that night at Manchester Royal Infirmary.

At 7.30am the next day, Mr Lyons – believed to have been left traumatised by the incident – was found hanged in a field in Stockport.

Mr Lyons’ death is the second in relation to Mr Delaney’s murder, after police found a 23-year-old woman dead in a house on June 6.

Tributes have now flooded in for Mr Lyons, from Heaton Chapel, who friends and family said ‘lived life to the full’.

Friend Michael Dolan, 24, who was with him the night they found Mr Delaney in Barlow Road, Levenshulme, said: ‘Sean was just a star. That night we were driving and he saw someone on the floor and said “stop the car, stop the car!”.

‘He got out and tried first aid and called the ambulance but they couldn’t help him.

‘He was really a top lad, always smiling. Just a star. It’s a tragedy.’

His devastated mother Marie Lyons added: ‘The number of tributes and messages of condolence we have received have been amazing and are a testament to our son.

 ‘Sean was well liked and respected, the number of people whose lives were touched by Sean is untold.

‘He always looked out for others and spent a lot of time talking to older people for whom he had a very high regard.

‘Everyone who knew Sean was aware that he lived life to the full, a great night out with his friends was always in order.’

 Mr Lyons was a popular student at St Ann’s Roman Catholic High School and Aquinas College in Stockport. He went on to work on road surfacing with his father Andy.

Mrs Lyons added: ‘Sean took great pride in his work and was well known and respected in his area of work. He made many friends in his short working life and maintained strong relationships with friends from school, college and work.

‘Sean made us proud of his work ethic and his ability to make friends, he was a loyal son and friend to many.’
